These homeowners recently purchased and moved into their home that they wanted their soon to enjoy until he graduated from high school. They noticed that water was getting into the floors of their carpeted floors and forcing them to pull back to carpets daily to ensure that they weren't getting water damage. As frustrated as they were with this problem, they knew that it would only get worse with time, and they knew they needed to call someone they trusted, so they gave us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Josh Brown to inspect the floors and determine what was causing water to seep into their carpets, see if any water damage had occurred, and determine what solutions would be best to help these homeowner's water problem. Josh found that water was getting in through several locations due to the moisture and water in the crawlspace. He also saw that there was mold and mildew issues starting in occupied living places which is a big concern for the health of these homeowners. Luckily, Josh knew just the solutions, so after talking to the homeowners, he set up a time for an installation team to come out and install moisture reducing solutions.
The installation team arrived and set the crawlspace up with drain lines, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. After this, they went to the lowest floor of the home and installed WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to ensure that the carpets and flooring would remain dry.

This homeowner noticed a bad odor coming into her home, and she wanted this to go away. After searching for the source of the smell, she found that it was coming from her crawlspace. Unsure of how to fix this problem, she gave us a call to see how we could help.
We sent System Design Specialist Kerry Lehman to inspect the homeowner's crawlspace and determine what was causing the smell as well as how to fix this problem. Kerry found that the crawlspace was no encapsulated, meaning that it was simply a dirt floor which had mold and high humidity without any controls. He pointed this problem out to the homeowner, and she was eager to have this problem solved, so she called for one of our installation teams. The installation team utilized CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help the homeowner solve the odor problem as well as prevent future problems from happening.
The homeowner was happy that the crawlspace odor was gone and that here home was back to normal. Check out the newly encapsulated crawlspace!

LeAnna and Rodney R. wanted to preserve the home that her dad built. There were humps and valleys in the floor. They were worried the floor wouldn't support the weight of everything. They had already done work to try and fix this, but nothing seemed to work.
LeAnna and Rodeney called Thrasher and our System Design Special, Sean Robinson, evaluated the problem. We installed 18 SmartJacks along the full spans of both main beams (9 on each beam). We also installed a 20' supplemental beam and 4 SmartJacks under the bathroom and LeAnna's scrapbooking room, where she has a lot of heavy furniture and full bookcases. All this allowed us to even out and level the floor through the full span of the house. We also encapsulated the crawl space and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to get moisture and humidity under control, in order to preserve the flooring system and floor support.
